In Ohio, a trial is set to determine the compensation for the transfer of the Octagon Earthworks, a World Heritage Site with Indigenous ties, from the Moundbuilders Country Club to the historical society. The earthworks, built by the Hopewell Culture 2,000 years ago, are sacred ceremonial and burial sites. The Ohio History Connection aims to transform the property into a public park, valuing it at $2 million, while the country club seeks a higher sum. The earthworks, serving as both an observatory and spiritual location, face heritage preservation challenges and legal disputes.
